New in tlTerm 12.1.0.2709 (May 29, 2020)

  • New Tree View right-click command "Add/Edit 'text' child (using dialog)" makes for friendlier editing in some situations than F1
  • New 64-bit versions of TLex and tlTerm and tlDatabase, on both Windows and macOS! (Catalina-ready)
  • [Preview] Popup menu for 'settings' button near top right of Preview Area: Add new user-local toggle option 'Preview masked entries always' that, if enabled [default], shows a preview of 'what a masked-out entry *would* look like IF visible in that styleset' under the "Entry hidden/excluded by styleset mask (edition selection). Use F2 checkboxes (or F1 selection list) to edit edition selection. Use top right of Preview Area to change selected styleset/edition to view" message
  • [Filter (F5)] New filter "match node if 'is-empty'" (element node that has no child elements and no attribute values filled in)
  • New Tools/Options (or Mac Preferences) local user setting "/EditOptions/DisableAutoSortElements" allows you to turn off element auto-sorting
  • [Entry List MRU] (Most-Recently-Used Entries) List: Add double-click to force re-select of clicked entry (if already selected)
  • [Online Publishing Exporter] Four new publish export options in the 'File / Export online publishing' dialog (NB:
  • * AudioTag [default 'true'] Indicates to export sounds using the newer HTML5 'audio' tag instead of the old img+JavaScript approach
  • * AudioTagControls [default 'true'] Adds the play/pause etc. controls on the HTML5 control
  • * AudioTagNoDownload [default 'true'] If 'AudioTag' option on, tries to hide the 'Download' option from the control
  • * OverridePathSounds [Optional] This can be either an absolute URL for the path of the sound files, e.g.:
  • https://yourserver.com/sounds/
  • or a relative path on the Web server, e.g.:
  • /sounds/
  • (There is no real difference between the above two for visitors to the site itself, but if the entries are to be made available via other sites through an API server then the absolute URL https://yourserver.com/sounds/ is better as the sounds will work for API clients - if using a relative URL then the browser will try to locate the sounds on the client website which will not work)
  • NOTE: During publish exports, the OverridePathSounds option CAN be different from the OverridePathImages export option, BUT there is still only one single folder setting in Dictionary/Properties (used during editing in TLex or tlTerm). So locally in TLex/tlTerm your sound files and image files should be in the same folder for the Preview Area to work, but they can go to separate folders on the webserver itself now during publishes by using different settings for these two options.
  • NB NB If one has existing dictionaries that are set up to use the 'old system' of an 'img' tag with JavaScript on the serverside to handle it, then whoever does a new publish with the new publish will HAVE TO set AudioTag to FALSE/OFF (as it's default to TRUE) during exports or existing sounds will break on those old dictionaries.

  • Spellchecking. Can use any LibreOffice spellchecker (uses Hunspell spellchecking system). Before using, you must install the spellchecker. To install a spellchecker, you must currently copy *.dic/*.aff files under your user Documents folder, to either TLex/Plugins/Extensions or tlTerm/Plugins/Extensions or tlDatabase/Plugins/Extensions (depending which application you're using). Toggle on/off using the button in top right of Preview Area. If it doesn't seem to work, make sure you have correct matching language tags/codes set up in your DTD, e.g. your xml:lang attribute should ideally match the one in the *.dic filename. If the spellchecker is e.g. "af_ZA.dic" or "fr-fr.dic" it should still work if you've used just e.g. "af" or "fr" as tag in xml:lang in your data.

  • [Compare/Merge] Add new setting CompareAttributesByName: Ignore attribute order; compare attributes by name instead of the stricter default that uses attribute order. This can be useful if compared elements don't have the same number of attributes, or if they're in a different order. [beta]
  • [Online Publishing Exporter][Advanced] New option "AlwaysOutputClassNames" [Default: OFF] If enabled, always output class="classname" in generated span tags even when the UseCSS (HTML_CSS) option is off, so you effectively get a classname and the actual styling in a style="" tag (the class names can then be used to do things like toggle visibility of e.g. specific elements within a browser client by JavaScript, and could also be optionally used for styling). Note that if one has 'complex' styles, like smart styles that change contextually, then you may have to still use the style="" span tag output for the 'actual' styling even though you're generating a classname (to do things like visibility toggling).

  • CSV importer: New option: RowNumberAsExtraFirstColumnOffset: [Optional][Advanced] If treat line/row number as special extra first column, add this optional offset as a 'base offset' to the line number. Must be used in conjunction with TreatRowNumberAsExtraFirstColumn. 0 by default.

New in tlTerm 8.1.0.1290 (May 21, 2014)

  • [Filter (F5)] Add new "Quick-filter/'Incomplete' entries" command that instantly applies a 'convenience' filter to show only entries marked 'incomplete'
  • [Filter (F5)] Add new "Quick-filter/'Completed' entries" command that instantly applies a 'convenience' filter to show only entries NOT marked 'incomplete'

New in tlTerm 8.1.0.1272 Beta (May 13, 2014)

  • [Find / Replace dialog] [Beta] [Advanced] Add a new search/replace "filter mode" that allows the search and/or replace to be restricted only to the exact nodes/elements that pass the current filter. This effectively allows "conditional replacements" for conditions occurring on the same node (for example, 'replace some-text with some-other-text in "attribute2", but only if (say) "attribute1" on that same node contains a certain value'; or, 'replace, but only if (say) the node has a "Subentry" parent' - any conceivable 'filter' in the software can be used as a condition, provided it matches the desired node(s)).
  • This "filter mode" currently applies only in the "Default field search" mode, and only if the "Use filters" checkbox is ticked.
  • As an example, assume we want to fill in empty instances of "ElementName::Attribute2" on an element named "ElementName", but only if the value is empty AND only if "ElementName::Attribute1" (on the same element) contains the text "foo" (for this latter check, we'll use an F3 field search applied as a 'search filter', see below). To achieve this, do the following:
  • Make sure to back up your data before trying this, and try it on a test copy of your database first, to make sure it works correctly
  • Open your document
  • Before doing anything else, select the 'Tools/Options' menu command (or Mac 'Preferences' menu), and select the "User Preferences Properties List [Advanced]" tab
  • Find the preference "/Find" "FilterMode", double-click on it, and enter a new value of "2" (without quotes)
  • Click "OK" to close the Options/Preferences window
  • Now, go to 'Search (F3)' (this is not inherently part of using the new "filter mode", but we use it because in this particular case, we are going to use a 'search filter')
  • Click the 'Fields

New in tlTerm 8.1.0.1265 (May 12, 2014)

  • [Filter (F5)] Add new "Quick-filter/Hide all entries" command that applies a special 'convenience' filter that hides all entries in the current section
  • [Filter (F5)] Add element filter for main 'Lemma' (or 'Entry') element (in theory every entry has one, so it seems redundant, but it can have uses - e.g. make it easier to 'hide all entries' with a filter, or can have uses when used in conjunction with new 'Node intersection' filter type)
  • [Tags] Add new "Edit/[Current section only] Tag all" command (same as existing command but for selected section/'side'/tab only)
  • [Tags] Add new "Edit/[Current section only] Tag range" command (same as existing command but for selected section/'side'/tab only)
  • [Tags] Add new "Edit/[Current section only] Clear all tags" command (same as existing command but for selected section/'side'/tab only)
  • [Tags] Add new "Edit/[Current section only] Filter tagged" command (same as existing command but for selected section/'side'/tab only)
  • [Tags] Add new "Edit/[All sections] Invert tags" command (same as existing "Invert tags" but for all sections, instead of only selected section/'side'/tab)

New in tlTerm 8.1.0.1249 Beta (May 8, 2014)

  • [Error checks] Add convenience "Filter" links for remaining parent->child element relation violations (e.g. "one or more", "one only" etc.) to quickly jump to the specific violating cases
  • [Filters] New filter type "HasParent:(ElementName)"
  • [Styles] [Numbering schemes] Add new "Lowercase Greek letters" numbering styles scheme

  • [Tree View / Tools and Attributes Area F1 .. F6] Can now drag-resize the height of the Tree View vs 'Tools and Attributes' (F1 .. F6) window *
  • [Attributes (F1)] Show attribute labels in bold, and add an AttrWindow/BoldLabels setting (computer-local setting) that allows you to optionally disable this.
  • [Preview] Popup menu for 'settings' button in top right of Preview Area: Add new options 'Tree View settings' and 'Attribute Editing Window (F1/F2) settings'
  • [Attributes (F1)] Add a 'Tools/Options/Properties' AttrWindow/ShowFixedAttributes setting (computer-local setting) that allows you to select whether or not to show 'fixed' (read-only) attribute values under Attributes (F1).

  • [Preview] [wxWebkit] Add right-click 'Copy' menu command to copy Preview Area text selection to clipboard (in addition to existing Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut)
  • Miscellaneous bugfixes and improvements (inter alia: Mac Search F3 text cut-off; old-DOM+wxWebkit 'click to select' fix; 'tagged entries' info display make less subtle; fix possible slow delay on first-entry-clicked after loading a file issue introduced in .1125)

New in tlTerm 8.1.0.1125 (Mar 11, 2014)

  • [Search (F3)] If multiple pages of search results, also show the multi-page navigation controls at the bottom of the results page
  • [Tree View] Add new right-click command 'Element / Run tQuery expression' that provides a basic method to run a tQuery expression on the selected node and display the result
  • [DTD Editor] List items: New "Copy with IDs" command for copying list items to clipboard along with their IDs
  • [Activation System] Make improvements to the activation dialog to help automatically fix an activation that fails due to having been inadvertently copied from one computer to another (this can occasionally happen e.g. if upgrading Windows, or if the user is transferring their 'documents and settings' from one computer to another). (The previous solution was to use the "Reset key" button, but this was not user-friendly.)
  • [Compare/Merge] New option "EntryListCompareEntriesByNodeID": [Advanced] Compare entries in the entry list by the unique node ID of each entry instead of by headword; this can help to create a 'stable' compare/merge entry list if doing data remodelling work that affects the entry headword. For tlTerm documents this is effectively always ON. (default: OFF)
  • [Online Publishing Exporter] [Advanced] New option "EntryIDQuery" allows a custom tQuery to be specified to generate 'remapped' entry IDs. This can be used, for example, to implement 'stable entry IDs'.
  • [Online Publishing Exporter] [Advanced] New option "TitleIDQuery" allows a custom tQuery to be specified to generate title ID for entry (this can be used indirectly to, e.g., use a list attribute to specify title of entry)
  • New command-line option "--tool (toolname)" allows you to automatically run a 'Tools' plugin when invoking TLex/tlTerm/tlDatabase from the command line

New in tlTerm 8.1.0.1087 (Dec 11, 2013)

  • [Tools / Copy field] Add new option to try auto-add (if possible) new 'list attribute' list items to the DTD
  • [Filter (F5) / Real-time error checks] New Filter (F5) option Auto-check basically turns the currently selected filter conditions into a 'real-time error check'
  • [Search and Replace] New "bulk search and replace" option [still 'experimental'/beta]. Use F12 in 'find' and 'replacement text' fields, and enter multiple lines for each find/replacement for both the find and replacement text. [Currently works with normal field search only].

New in tlTerm 8.1.0.1059 (Nov 12, 2013)

  • [HTML Exporter] New 'FilenameQuery' option allows you to specify an optional tQuery() to use on the entry to generate the output filename when using the 'Export one file per entry' option
  • [Compare/Merge] New command to execute Lua Script from within Compare/Merge (under Batch Merge) [Advanced]. Use the following function signature, return 0 for success:
  • function Compare(DocLeft,DocRight)
  • end

New in tlTerm 8.1.0.1048 (Nov 5, 2013)

  • New sample file 'Filter Option Explanations' explains the exact operation of the Filter (F5) options 'OR', 'AND' and 'NODE INTERSECTION'

  • [tlTerm] Some TBX importer fixes
  • [tlTerm] Big improvements to Term List at left, now displays second column of information showing other translations of the entry/concept

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.1017 (Oct 21, 2013)

  • [tlTerm] New Preview setting 'Display second synonym onwards as a cross-reference' (click settings button in top-right corner of Preview Area to toggle). If you have an entry for the concept 'dog', with two synonyms 'dog' and 'hound', then this will automatically show a special cross-reference entry (e.g. 'hound -> dog') at 'hound' in the alphabetic listing, pointing to the main entry at 'dog'.
  • [tlTerm] New Preview setting 'Use synonym auto-references arrow' (click settings button in top-right corner of Preview Area to change)
  • [Preview] Add new Settings button in top right of Preview Area that faciliates access to Preview Area settings
  • [tlTerm] Entry List now shows synonyms with an arrow indicating the primary synonym/entry, e.g. 'hound => dog'

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.1008 (Oct 18, 2013)

  • Entry List now shows synonyms with an arrow indicating the primary synonym/entry, e.g. 'hound => dog'

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.999 (Oct 9, 2013)

  • New 'Node intersection' option in which ALL conditions must match on one or more specific individual node(s) for the entry to pass the filter condition test (i.e. 'apply intersection of matching nodes for all conditions'). This major addition to 'Filter (F5)' allows you to find specific elements/nodes that match multiple conditions, e.g. 'Find an Example node that has a translation AND a source/citation', or 'Find a Sense node that has TEs AND has Examples'. This can also be combined with Search filters in interesting ways, e.g. one could construct filter queries such as 'Find cases where an Example has the word "dog" in it AND the Example translation is not filled in'. (Combining these with the new 'custom user filters', one can create much more advanced filter queries.)

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.997 (Oct 8, 2013)

  • [Sorting] New 'Tools/Node sort' tool allows child elements of a given type throughout a document to be automatically sorted according to the value in an attribute, for example you could auto-sort sub-entries alphabetically on the sub-entry lemma sign. (This forms part of a sophisticated new sorting system that will allow far more complex cases of auto-sorting of child elements.)
  • [Online Publishing Exporter] Add configuration options to the 'online export options' user interface to make it easier to configure the common prefixes and suffixes settings for search index generation. These allow you to enter common prefixes/suffixes to strip from the front/end of strings when generating the search index (e.g. if you have many translations with forms such as "to call", "to eat", "a cow", "a dog" etc., then you can configure e.g. "to ", "a " etc. as 'common prefixes', and a term or translation such as "to call" will also be indexed as if it were just "call". You can enter multiple prefixes or suffixes by simply entering one per line.
  • [Online Publishing Exporter] Various improvements, fixes, new options, and speed enhancements.

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.995 (Oct 7, 2013)

  • [Filter (F5)] Implement a new 'custom user filter' system. With this system, various 'special' filters that you use during a session (e.g. 'search' or 'stats' filters) will now be temporarily added to the list of filter conditions under Filter (F5) (at the bottom of the list). This allows these filters to be used like other filters under F5, i.e. they can be unticked or re-ticked, be used in combination with other filters and/or with each other, can be selected in the F5 'Hide' column, and be used with features such as F5 'Go to next', 'Tag all' and 'Filter actions'. These 'custom user filters' are added only temporarily and are discarded when you close the document or exit the application, and are denoted with a "*" in the F5 filter list.
  • The following 'special' filters have been re-implemented to work as 'custom user filters' (i.e. get added to the F5 list when you activate these):
  • Search (F3) and 'Find' / 'Search and Replace' Filter commands
  • Parent->Child stats filters
  • 'Parse error' stats filters
  • 'Child pattern' stats filters (i.e. via 'Element details' stats)
  • 'Attribute pattern' stats filters
  • 'Sibling pattern' stats filters
  • List 'N-items count' filters
  • List item filters
  • 'Number-of-smart-cross-references on a smart-refs node' filters
  • [Search (F3) / Search and Replace / Filters] The Search (F3) and Search and Replace 'Filter' commands now add these custom search filters to the list of filter conditions under Filter (F5) (temporarily for the session). This allows search filters to be used like other filters under F5, and thus can be used in combination with other filters, as well as making it easier to 'search within search results'.
  • [Stats] Parent->Child stats: Add new Filter "(=0)" option that finds/filters cases of the given parent with ZERO children of this child element specifically
  • [Filter (F5) / Filter Actions] [Advanced] New Filter Action 'Run Lua script on all matching nodes' of the current filter conditions selected under F5 (use gCurrentNode and gCurrentEntry for the matching node and entry respectively)

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.989 (Oct 1, 2013)

  • [XML Importer] Added new import XML options dialog that displays before import, allowing you to change XML import options (currently PreferPCDATAToSecondChild, StyleBetween and VisibleLogging)
  • [XML Importer] Add new option VisibleLogging: If true, enables some 'visible logging' from the importer, to help follow what it is doing. This may slow down the importer a little, but can help in investigating problems.

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.986 (Sep 30, 2013)

  • [Error checks] Add convenience "Filter" links in the list of missing parent->child element relation violations to quickly view the violating entries
  • [Stats] Parent->Child stats: Display red "(!)" next to parent->child count instances that aren't allowed according to the DTD (e.g. if there are two children but the relation type is "zero or one" allowed)
  • [Stats] New ChildChild statistics, but from the child node's perspective)
  • [Advanced] New 'experimental'/beta command 'Tools/Force re-parse of all 'text' nodes' [NB, for advanced users only!] ... this might typically be useful, say, after an importer, to e.g. convert inline tags in text form like "hello" to actual parsed document tree. (Requires Tools/Options/Properties 'Experimental' property set to true.)
  • [Cross-reference resolver] Add new options to the 'Cross-reference resolver' tool (see "Tools" menu) to help resolve references for cases (e.g. after importing XML from elsewhere) that use source/target ID numbers/strings for cross-references (as opposed to e.g. using the referenced headword).

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.979 (Sep 25, 2013)

  • [Filter (F5)] [Advanced] New Filter Element Actions system that allows 'actions' to be performed on all nodes in a document that match the current filter condition(s). These are accessible under 'Filter (F5) via a new "Advanced" button. Current actions are:
  • - "Delete all matching elements"
  • - "Delete 'text' child nodes from all matching elements"
  • [Stats] Element details: "Occurring Left-Siblings" Add new count/filter option in the 'element details' stats list for occurrences of 'element has no left-siblings' (i.e. element is first child)
  • [Stats] Clicking on 'Count' heading a second time now toggles the sort-elements-by-instance-count off again (and back to sorting by DTD element order)
  • [Stats] Fix element name not visible in some cases if color is white on a white background, or black on a black background
  • [Styles editor] Minor user-friendliness improvement: Add a 'signpost' heading showing what styleset and style you're currently viewing
  • [DTD editor] Right-click in attribute list: New command to copy attribute list to clipboard
  • [DTD editor] Right-click in 'allowed child elements' list: New command to copy allowed child element list to clipboard
  • [DTD editor] Right-click in 'allowed child elements' list: New commands "Synchronize output order in styles" (and "Synchronize output order in styles for ALL elements" to do this for ALL elements in the DTD). This will try set the 'output order' of child elements to be the same as their ordering in the 'allowed child elements' list. Note this won't necessarily work properly for cases where there are 'out of order' children, i.e. multiple instances of the same allowed child element (eg. "A,B,A"). It's also important to remain aware here that in the 'output orders', unlike in the actual DTD, the elements may be intermingled with attributes (due to the output order system that allows transforming the order on generating the output), e.g. "Attr1,ChildElem1,Attr2,ChildElem2" - if so, this function may leave some undesired orderings of child elements relative to attributes; these can only be resolved manually as this function cannot automatically know the correct desired ordering. The function tries to leave attribute ordering intact, but this isn't always possible.

  • [RTF Exporter] Add new option to 'split output entries into files of N entries each'
  • [Tags] Add new "Edit/Invert tags" function that inverts the current tagset (untags tagged entries, and vice versa)

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.963 (Jul 26, 2013)

  • [Search (F3)] New Use filter checkbox option allows you to choose not to limit an F3 search to filtered entries only (as was already possible in the Find/Replace dialog)
  • [Search (F3)] Add search icon image next to search text box to make this search function slightly user-friendlier
  • [Right-to-left / DTD editor] Added new "right-to-left" checkbox option for elements (in addition to existing option for individual attributes)

  • [User Guide] Add detailed section explaining paragraph style options ("Indents and Spacing" tab)
  • Add new "columns output mode". Clicking on the "columns" icon in the top right corner of the Preview Area of tlTerm toggles to/from "columns" mode. This setting currently applies to the Preview Area and to 'Export RTF'.
  • [RTF Exporter] Basic table support.

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.941 (Apr 30, 2013)

  • [Stats] 'Full statistics': For smart-references element (e.g. "References"), add a detailed breakdown of reference-type instance counts and num-references instance counts. Also add corresponding filters (available from within this stats view) for finding smart-reference elements where the number of cross-references is greater-than, less-than, equal-to etc. a given count.
  • [Tools / Advanced] Add new 'Tools/Bulk element/attribute rename' tool (for advanced users) that allows you to quickly rename many elements and/or attributes in the DTD at once by specifying the list of renames to perform in a two-column CSV (Comma-Separated Values - e.g. Excel export) text file. This tool prompts you for a CSV/.txt file which contains on each line a field (either element or attribute) to rename, one per line, then performs the DTD renames as appropriate. Attributes should be specified as: ElementName/AttributeName. Note you should try use the old element names in column one 'throughout', and the new element names in column two 'throughout'. The simplest way to create the input file is using spreadsheet software, e.g. Excel, then doing a 'Save as' to CSV format. What may also be helpful here is the DTD editor command to 'copy full element and element/attribute list to clipboard', which can be pasted into column 1. An example input file to the bulk rename tool looks like:
  • OldElemName,NewElemName
  • OldElemName/OldAttrName1,NewElemName/NewAttrName1
  • OldElemName/OldAttrName2,NewElemName/NewAttrName2
  • ElemName/OldAttrName,ElemName/NewAttrName
  • [Tools / Advanced] Add new 'Tools/[Advanced] Create dynamic-ref-tree smartref elements'. This tool adds two new 'special' elements (with corresponding special attributes) to the DTD, with names starting with "_autogen_ref". When these are present, then when a "References" node generates its output, it does so 'behind the scenes' using temporary 'created-on-the-fly' instances of these new elements/attributes (note you should not manually add instances of these elements to your data). This system makes several improvements to the smart-references, e.g. the styles can now be configured in the Styles system in a more fine-grained manner for smart-reference fields (e.g. reftype, ref, homnum, sensenum), the visibility and order of the smart-reference output fields can be configured separately, the auto-punctuation between references and groups of reference types is more configurable (e.g. the auto-punctuation in cases like "SEE cat, dog, COMPARE zebra"), and it gives typesetters potentially finer control in typesetting smart-reference fields. It also fixes a limitation whereby the smart-reference homnum would be hidden if the main entry homnum field was hidden (as the old behaviour is to inherit the visibility setting from the main entry's homonym number attribute - though this is not a problem for most databases). Note that if these elements and attributes are not present, then the old behaviour still applies. These elements can easily be deleted at any time in the DTD editor to revert to the old behaviour, or created again to switch to the new behaviour.

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.911 (Apr 15, 2013)

  • [Find / Replace]: Add new 'Compare' tab that allows 'comparison' searches, whereby you can e.g. compare the value of one attribute to the value of another attribute (or to some given text), with options such as 'equal to', 'not equal to', 'less than', 'greater than', 'contains', 'is empty', 'is not empty' and more. E.g. you could find all entries where, say, 'Entry:LemmaSign' is not equal to 'Entry:SortKey'. (If comparing two attributes, they must both be on the same element.)
  • [Filter (F5)] New N-of-each-field filters shows only as many entries as are needed to "see" at least N instances of each element or attribute in the document (could be very helpful for e.g. checking data post-conversion/import, or for helping to review existing DTDs)
  • [Search (F3)] Field breakdown: Add count of occurrences of each parent element for matches inside 'text' nodes
  • [Stats] Under element 'Details', add new 'occurring left-siblings' and 'occurring right-siblings' (and corresponding filters to find specific element pairs)

  • New 'Tools/Options/Properties' setting /Importers/XML/StyleBetween: "Default 'between' value for styles"

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.743 (Dec 17, 2012)

  • [XML Importer] New 'Tools/Options/Properties' setting /Importers/XML/PreferPCDATAToSecondChild: "If true, prefer to 'turn element into' a PCDATA type instead of adding a second out-of-order child relation for the given element type (e.g. instead of two Child1 relations in a case like 'Parent->Child1,Child2,Child1', favor selecting PCDATA child option on Parent instead)"
  • [XML Importer] New 'Tools/Options/Properties' setting /Importers/XML/StyleBetween: "Default 'between' value for styles"

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.736 (Dec 17, 2012)

  • [Tree View] Add new right-click edit command 'Insert after: [text]' that creates and inserts a new 'text' node immediately after the selected node
  • [Stats] Add new 'occurring parentschildren' overview table (via 'Full statistics', Parent->Child 'overview') that displays a table of occurring parent and child nodes for each element
  • [Attributes (F1) / (F2)] Add 'Tools/Options/Properties' AttrWindow/MaxRebuildTime setting that allows you to specify a 'maximum allowed time' for rebuilding F1/F2 attributes, to help improve UI responsiveness in some cases [Milliseconds, default 6000]
  • New "Tool" "Load styles" to assist in transferring styles between documents (with similar DTDs; element and attribute names must match)
  • New "Tool" "Save styles" to assist in transferring styles between documents (with similar DTDs; element and attribute names must match)
  • New "Tool" "Save current styleset" to assist in transferring styles between documents (with similar DTDs; element and attribute names must match)
  • [Compare/Merge] Add new option 'strict attribute types', that if enabled, attempts to disregard attribute type differences and compares by string value (the default "strict" behaviour regards a type difference as a value difference). Use with caution, as there may be particular cases where this is not necessarily reliable (e.g. potentially with F2 multi-lists, as this assumes "," as separator for purposes of comparison, or there may be oddities with Lua or 'user' attributes).

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.711 (Sep 29, 2012)

  • User Guide updates (mainly to ODBC section)
  • Add the Online Publishing exporter to tlTerm [works in conjunction with the TLex online publishing system]
  • Improvements to Online Publishing exporter: More settings to control generated entry and title IDs, better support for partial updates on a live database, as well as core changes for new functionality to allow users to publish updates straight to the Web from TLex/tlTerm/tlDatabase (if using the TLex online publishing system)
  • Core changes to more formally support documents with three or more 'sections' (using a 'tabbed interface')
  • Allow disabling of auto-sorting of entries per 'section'
  • Some further right-to-left language support improvements

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.700 (Sep 18, 2012)

  • [tlTerm/Preview] Added display of entries-following-selected-entry to tlTerm Preview Area (with option "Format/Preview selection only" to turn it off)
  • Miscellaneous bugfixes and improvements (including fix for 'Internet Explorer preview control sometimes causes edit cursor invisibility in F1 text boxes')

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.695 (Sep 12, 2012)

  • [tlTerm/Preview] Added display of entries-following-selected-entry to tlTerm Preview Area (with option "Format/Preview selection only" to turn it off)
  • [Filter (F5) / Tags] Add new 'Tag matches' and 'Untag matches' commands that tag/untag all entries that match the currently selected filter conditions in 'Filter (F5)' (completely independent of whether any filter is presently 'applied' or not). This adds to (or removes from) any current tags.
  • [Filter (F5)] Add new 'Go to next [match]' command that selects the next entry that matches the currently selected filter conditions in 'Filter (F5)' (completely independent of whether any filter is presently 'applied' or not). This is similar to (and not to be confused with) the current Ctrl+G 'Edit/Next filter match' functionality, but doesn't need a filter *applied*.
  • [Preview / Tags] Add display of current number of tagged (and not tagged) entries to the Preview Area

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.690 (Sep 7, 2012)

  • Added display of entries-following-selected-entry to tlTerm Preview Area (with option "Format/Preview selection only" to turn it off)

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.687 (Sep 4, 2012)

  • 'Tools/Copy field': Add 'Help' button that opens integrated help explaining in more detail how to use this advanced tool (as well as more information on the tQuery expression syntax)
  • [Tools / Advanced] Add new 'Tools/XML bulk regex replace' tools that allow a bulk regular-expression-based search and replace (somewhat like the "sed" tool) to be performed on each entry's underlying XML. The script syntax is as follows: "#" at the start of a line denotes a comment line; otherwise, "_" separates 'search for' and 'replace with' strings (one per line), e.g. "^([^]+)_\1" would extract bold at the start of the entry and place it into a 'LemmaSign' element. Blank lines are ignored. This tool can be particularly useful for post-import data remodelling and clean-up (although it was possible to do this via export and re-import previously, it can now be done in TLex/tlTerm/tLDatabase directly).
  • [Search and Replace] New 'Search across entry as XML [Advanced]' option that allows you to search (or replace) in the XML of a full entry (e.g. "(noun)" => "")
  • [Search and Replace] New 'List all matching values'' command generates a list of all strings that match the (regular expression) search query in the document (e.g. a regular expression search for "l[^ ]+t" would generate a list of all words in the document that start with 'l' and end with 't'. This command can also be used with the new 'Search across entry as XML' option, so you could, for example, generate a list of all characters following a given element by searching for the regular expression ".".
  • [Preview] Add new 'View/Toggle XML view' option that displays a basic XML view of the selected entry in the Preview Area
  • [Tree View] Add new right-click edit command 'Delete node only' that deletes just the given node but not its children, with the children shifting up to occupy the spot occupied by the deleted node
  • [Error checks] Add 'fix in DTD' command for missing parent->child element relations
  • [Stats] Add 'text', 'CDATA' and 'error' child node counts for each element under parent->child stats section
  • [Stats] Fixed: Parent->Child element counts didn't display in normal full stats if that Parent->Child relation wasn't allowed in the DTD (i.e. constituted a DTD violation in the data)
  • New setting (under 'Tools/Options/Properties') 'UserInterface/ExpandedViewDefault' allows you to specify whether Expanded View mode opens by default when you open a document (setting value: 0 = off by default, 1 = on by default, 2 = remember last setting for each document)
  • Miscellaneous bugfixes and improvements

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.648 (Aug 20, 2012)

  • 'Tools/Split field': Add new option to add new elements as new child nodes instead of doing a 'replace'
  • [Sorting] The table-based multi-level sort can now properly handle digraphs (and other multiple-Unicode-character character forms such as combining characters)
  • [Importer] [Experimental/Advanced] New Xpressive-based generic importer. This is a new generic, customizable data conversion system for bringing data into TLex/tlTerm/tlDatabase. (As it is not yet stable, you need to first enable the 'Experimental' option under 'Tools/Options/Properties', then after app restart it will be accessible under 'Tools'). It can be used already by advanced users.)
  • [tQuery] Add support for "@id" 'special attribute' to retrieve underlying unique ID of node

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.629 (Jul 21, 2012)

  • [Compare/Merge] Add/enable new 'structured view' feature
  • [Compare/Merge] In some cases (currently text nodes only), now also shows positions of differences *within* strings

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.624 (Jul 16, 2012)

  • [Stats] Add 'CDATA' node count
  • [Search (F3)] Add 'Tag all' and 'Untag all' feature to tag or untag entries matching the F3 search query (equivalent to those commands already in the 'Find/Replace' dialog). This is filter-aware.
  • [Full-screen mode] Add 'Don't show this again' checkbox to the 'Press Ctrl+Shift+F to exit full-screen mode' message
  • [DTD Editor] Add 'Don't show this again' checkbox to the 'are you sure' warning dialog

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.608 (Jun 25, 2012)

  • Add new "Edit/View tagged entries" function that displays all currently tagged in the Preview Area. (This can be useful if, for example, you quickly want to print several particular entries.)

New in tlTerm 7.1.0.591 (Jun 21, 2012)

  • New Display Tagged Entries function
  • Character Tool Copy to Clipboard feature
  • Copy Entry List command
  • Regex Quickhelp in Find/Replace
  • Search Presets allows you to select from a list of various new common search queries, with user-friendly names
  • Important Bugfixes
  • User Guide updates

New in tlTerm 6.1.0.532 (Mar 31, 2012)

  • F2 headings now show term; New 'Next filter match' (Ctrl+G) command jumps to next node/attribute Filter match;
  • 'Copy field' now supports Filter;
  • Character Tool improvements (Unicode 6 block names; 'info' column;
  • 'Unified Han Chinese/Japanese/Korean' info); New ODBC setting MaxRefreshTime

New in tlTerm 6.1.0.331 (Jul 4, 2011)

  • Significantly improved "File/New / Add Language" window, making it easier to find and select languages from the language registry. Also added aliases for several common language names, and extended right-to-left detection to cover more languages. Reliability fix for the corpus.
